So I found someone on Craigslist who was selling plastic food grade water storage barrels. Mostly 55g, but he had some blue 30g and white 35g containers also. I met him yesterday and picked up two of the white 35g containers. These look like they've been stored outside his house maybe, or in a shed somewhere. The outsides are dirty. The insides look fairly clean, from what I could tell, but since I'm not willing to take any chances I'm curious what the best method would be to completely clean these out? It was dark by the time I got home so I haven't had a chance to really inspect them closely yet so hopefully they aren't too bad. For only $10 each I figured I'd take a chance and see if I could make them work.
Edit: I found several threads for cleaning out storage containers after a few uses, but nothing for cleaning a new storage container where the previous contents were unknown.
